A new year and a new set of models to compare

Hey all, happy new year! Post is a little later than I intended, but lets pretend it was intentional to happen in the new year :)

I've been putting off a set of models for a while now, mostly due to not being used to large units to put together. Anyways, after putting together the super cheap models from Warzone I picked up on Ebay, I found I really liked them

Since I have around 80 of these, I figure I'll be busy for a long time. While I was at it, I decided to start the Mantic models I bought for a steal. Here is one of the Corporate guys put together.

Holy crap do I hate this model. I'm still planning on painting it up to compare it to the Warzone model, but I'm already seeing I won't be relying on this. Top it off that the plastic is super hard and near impossible to work (I tried to remove the waist area so I could mix and match the top and bottom halves with the zombie/ghoul parts, but it was not to be.

The zombie/ghouls, however, look fantastic. They require some (read: a lot) of gap filling, but they are so good looking I just don't care. I can't wait to have a group of these ready to shamble across the battlefield and annoy my opponents. Give 'em hell, boys!

That's about it for this week. It's a new year, filled with hobby potential. Hope all of you take care and have yourselves a wonderful new year!

It could be a hybrid, I'm not sure. What I do know is i am not a fan of the sculpt or the potential for conversion! A truly hideous model. For as cheap as I got it, though, I shouldn't complain. Next time I stick with their ghouls and zombies!
